northward (about 360° T) flow. Some northwest- 

 ward (270-to-360° T) flow occurred, but little east- 

 ward (90° T) flow was evident. The individual 

 data points indicated that flow reversals coincided 

 with the diurnal tidal currents. 



Speeds were generally below 25 cm/sec, and 

 much of the record showed no detectable motion. 

 A small peak on the speed histogram at about 8 

 cm/sec is of unknown cause. It is concluded that a 

 sluggish net southward flow was occurring, with 

 occasional reversals leading to northward flow.
